New Sect of Hindoo Unitarians * ( From the Baptist Magazine : ) Extract of a Letter from Mr . Lawson to Mr . Ivimey , dated Calcutta . April 28 ,
1817 . _ 6 i You have heard of a new sect of Hindoos that have risen up here , who profess to believe in the Unity of the Godhead , in opposition to their countrymen , who worship i gods many and lords many . ' O , that they knew * Jesus Christ whom he hath sent ^ the 4 Mediator between God and man /
" Extract from my paper of last Wednesday : — Braj-mohun Sen ., of the police office , whose enlightened understandinghas euabled him to overcome the early prejudices of his Hindoo education , lately invited many of his friends and
acquaintances , who , like himself , have substituted the adoration of one Supreme Being * for the ido } atrous practices of the vulgar worship , to attend at his house in Kolootolah , and hear the chapters of the Veds , which treat of the Unity of God , read and explained . 6
w They accordingly convened to a considerable number , on the evening of Sunday last , the 20 th , when such parts of the Vedsas treat of the notion and Unity of the Godhead were explained , and several
hymns , lending to inculcate spiritual worship of the Divine Being , and the practice of pure morality , as the most acceptable offerings to heaven , were sung on the occasion , accompanied by musical instruments . The house was crowded with a
great number of natives of great respectability , both ia regard to birth and education * j and many of them were of a contemplative and reflecting- turn of mind . We subjoin the following translation of one of the hymns sung at Braj-moliun ^ s assembly : — If God you really learn to fear , ( And stand in awe of Him ;

Topographical Sketch of tke BosphoruSp Constantinople , tyc . As another proof of the intellectual en * terprise excited among the Greeks of ( lie Ionian Isles , and the scientific as well as literary attainments which they have lately
made , we feel great pleasure in the notice of a minute and accurate topographical sketch of the Bosphorus , Constantinople , and the environs , both in Europe and Asia , designed by Captain Nicholas Ohiefaia , and executed at London , under his own direction . The work , we believe , is
not intended for general sale in this country , nor are we aware that it would be of any great use as a common chart of the Straits of Constantinople , till our sailors who visit the Black Sea learn Greek % and besides , being a curiosity itself , it cannot fail to be of service to those who
wish to gain an accurate knowledge ! of the Eastern empire , and would have enlightened the labours even of Gibbon , in his description of that celebrated capital . The author is a native of the island of
Zante , and is already advantageously known on the Continent , by a treatise 011 maritime law , and three charts of the Mediterranean ^ pu blished at Paris in April last . The manner in which these works
were received at Vienna and Paris , confers an honour both on the author and the nation to which he belongs , He is now employed on two Greek works , which he intends publishing in London * one on the
construction of ships , and another bto nautical geography ; and we have no doubt , that if they are executed with the skill and ingenuity of the topographical sketch town ich we have adverted , the author will
